The Social Security Administration sent about 89,000 stimulus payments of $250 each to dead and incarcerated people — but almost half of them were returned, a new inspector-general’s report has found.

The inspector general found that about 72,000 payments were sent by electronic-transfer and as checks to people who would have qualified to receive them — had they still been alive. The report said that of these payments, about 55,000 were sent because the recipients had died recently, and the Social Security Administration had not been informed of their deaths by states, families or funeral homes at the time the payments were sent. The remaining 17,000 of the mistaken payments were attributed to the SSA failing to properly process death records that it did have.

President Obama, in this spoof, negotiates with wild-fire as no other administration has been willing to do.

The last 24 hours have provided an explosion of new investigations into the Obama administration and its allies. National Review‘s Andrew McCarthy has called for Republicans to investigate the Justice Department’s racial discrimination. The FBI and the Labor Department announced today they are investigating Andrew Stern, the head of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), for financial improprieties. Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-SC, is warning fellow Democrats that a new Republican Congress will investigate Barack Obama’s birth certificate and eligibility. Lt. Col. Robert “Buzz” Patterson told NewsMax that Obama bundler Jodie Evans could (and should) be tried for treason. And Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-WI, today considered keeping open a House select committee to investigate climategate. (Rep. Darrell Issa also pledged to investigate this and many other crimes in the new year.) At a minimum, this confluence of coverage demonstrates the gravity of the charges and abundance of the need for increased scrutiny and potential legal action.

Pro-Terrorists and Thuggish Elitists on Speed Dial

The investigation of the former SEIU president cuts particularly close to the Obama White House. Andrew Stern is a former New Leftist who spent $5 million of SEIU union dues to buy into George Soros’ Democracy Alliance and later took a seat on the executive council of Americans Coming Together (ACT), Soros’ get-out-the-vote organ. (Journalists recently learned that ACT, which allegedly closed its doors in 2005, is still open and paid $775,000 in “civil fees” after Ralph Nader filed a Federal Election Commission complaint of dirty tricks in the ’04 election.) SEIU donated at least $27.8 million to Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, and in return Stern visited the White House more than any other person. Obama, in turn, appointed SEIU lawyer Craig Becker to head the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Stern remains a member of Obama’s deficit reduction commission.

When Stern announced in April he was suddenly stepping down as SEIU president, no one knew why. Today’s announcement that the FBI and Labor Department are looking into his finances seems to clear up the mystery. The AP reported agents questioned Stern in May and June about a $175,000 advance he received from 2006 Simon & Schuster for his book A Country That Works, which may have been illegally fact-checked and promoted at SEIU expense. Given Obama’s long and intimate relationship with the union itself and Stern specifically, one wonders if the president had any knowledge of the dealings — and if he gave Stern the heads-up to quit the union before the investigation broke wide open.

I fully believe we need to help those who cannot help themselves. Healthcare reform should have only addressed those who cannot afford or qualify for healthcare. Welfare, unemployment benefits should be avaialable for those who need it. Please do not think obama is doing anyone a favor by continuing to extend unemployment. If he truly cared about us he would “make the hard pivot to job creations” as he promised in January.
